About the Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole
The Quattrovalvole arrived in 1985 with a larger 5.2-litre V12 and four valves per cylinder. European carburetted cars made more power than the fuel-injected American specification; the figures here describe the European car. Its Gandini wedge and scissor doors became enduring supercar symbols. Heavy steering and limited rear visibility make it an involving, uncompromising drive.
